Chinmaya Dunster
Born in 1954 in Kent, England. After finishing his formal education in the late seventies, Dunster left Europe and traveled through Afghanistan to India, where he became acquainted with classical Indian music. In 1979, he attended an all-night performance of the sarod master, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and subsequently spent the next thirteen years engaged in the study of the sarod both in London and India. In 1982 he became a disciple of Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). In 1990, following an intense year of music making at the Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune, Dunster founded the east-west fusion band Terra Incognita and released two albums under that name. In 2001 he founded the Celtic Ragas Band, whose self-titled 1999 release attracted the favour of former Beatles member Sir Paul McCartney, who then invited Dunster to perform at his 2002 wedding in Ireland. In 2010, Chinmaya Dunster formed the Green Ragas Band, playing at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi. These performances resulted in Dunster's films of the concerts blended with information about climate change, threats to biodiversity and the difficulties faced by the rural poor in India. In the past 30 years Dunster has released more than 20 CDs in the New Age/World genres. His latest project is MELA, an electro-world-fusion (www.melamusic.co.uk) Chinmaya Dunster currently resides in Totnes, UK with his partner Naveena Goffer and their daughter Koyal Goffer-Dunster.
